CURRIE DIDN t GO BACK.
PHILLIPsBURG, Montana, July 23.-
Early yesterday morning a band Of
thirty men awakened I. l.. Currie,
superintendent of the San Francisco
mine, and Louis Demers and Sam
Toleman, and told them they must
leave town, accompanying them sew
eral miles out on the road. The
men were subjected to very rough
usage. ropes being put around their
necks and, according to some state
ments, they being drawn mp. When
they were left it was with the warn
ing not to return on peril of their
lives. Not needing the warning De-
mers and Toleman returned to town
and claiming protection OF officials
proceeded to swear out warrants for
a number of their alleged assailauts.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment. The alleged cause of the out
rage is that the men had jumped GER
tain claims in the district.
THE TEXAS CATTLE TRAIL
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-A telegram
from Dallas and San Antonio dis
credits the report that the Texas cat
tie trail is to be abandoned, and that
fifty thousand head of cattle on the
way TO Wyoming were yesterday
turned lback at the crossing OF the
Arkansas river. Col. Simpson, who
was reported as being the agent at
the cattle growers convention at Den
yer, says his company was not repre-
sented. Major Hillard thought the
report was only intended to alarm
Texas cattle men. He said he thought
that all trail cattle were finding slo W
sale, but that there was plenty OF
grass in the Indian territory and no
necessity to bring any Of the herds
back from other quarters. It was
generally recognized that the old
days of the trail are over and the
only salvation is to establish packing
houses in Texas.
